Suppression is not the answer

You may suppress something for some time, but you cannot avoid it forever. Therefore suppression of anything is not and cannot be the answer. The illumination of that very thing is imperative.

In our daily life we do not have to suppress emotion. We do not have to suppress anything. Suppression is very bad. If we suppress something today, tomorrow we will be subjected to its revolt. Suppression is not the answer. What we have to do is to illumine our emotion. While we are illumining it, we shall feel real joy. By suppressing what do we actually accomplish? Nothing. We are only forcing ourselves beyond our capacity and sincere willingness. As we have a desire to enjoy a life of pleasure, so also we have a desire to suppress life. A life of pleasure and a life of suppression are equally bad. Both are followed by frustration and frustration end in destruction. 

Life has given you

What you unconsciously wanted to have:

Frustration.

You can consciously get from life

What you need to have:

Illumination.

Puteti reprima ceva pentru un timp, dar nu puteti sa o faceti pentru totdeauna. De aceea reprimarea a orice nu este si nu poate fi raspunsul. Iluminarea este ceea ce avem nevoie neaparat.

In viata noastra de zi de zi nu trebuie sa ne reprimam emotiile. Nu trebuie sa reprimam nimic. Reprimarea este foarte rea. Daca reprimam ceva astazi, maine vom fi obiectul revoltei acelui lucru. Reprimarea nu este un raspuns. Ceea ce trebuie sa facem este sa iluminam emotiile noastre. In timp ce le iluminam, vom simti o adevarata bucurie. Prin reprimare ce obtinem noi de fapt? Nimic. Doar ne fortam peste capacitatea si bunavointa noastra sincera. Asa cum avem  dorinta de a ne bucura de o viata de placere, la fel avem si o dorinta de a reprima viata. O viata de placere si o viata de reprimare sunt la fel de rele. Ambele sunt urmate de frustrare si frustrarea sfarseste in distrugere.

Viata ti-a oferit

Ceea ce in mod inconstient ai vrut sa ai:

Frustrare.

Poti obtine de la viata in mod constient

Ceea ce ai nevoie sa ai:

Iluminare.
